Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Obesity and diabetes are major health problems, with a significant impact on public health and increasing prevalence worldwide. Unhealthy diets and physical inactivity lead to obesity and subsequently induce insulin resistance, a key risk factor for diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Oxidative stress and inflammation are underlying mechanisms of endothelial dysfunction, leading to vascular impairment in both small and large blood vessels in diabetic patients. Several biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammation are available for assessing therapeutic responses to interventions, though few are currently recommended for clinical use. Moreover, the growing emphasis on personalized medicine and individualized risk assessment during recent years is growing strong, and various functional and imaging screening tests, including endothelial function studies, are being developed to enhance accuracy and provide insights into the functional implications of the risk factors to monitor vascular disease.
The first edition of this Special Issue, ‘The Role of Oxidative Stress in Vascular Disease Associated with Diabetes’ was a success, with nine high-quality articles and reviews published: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/antioxidants/special_issues/7OW7J6RA95
The second edition of this Special Issue aims to gather a broader range of pertinent articles, stimulate increased attention, and encourage further research on the topic. It will focus on the role of oxidative stress in vascular disease associated with diabetes, emphasizing the need for clinically relevant biomarkers and new therapeutic interventions. The future of preventive and personalized medicine will reduce the burden of cardiovascular complications associated with diabetes.
